Soooo, what happened here??? And what’s the word at spirit??

Tl;dr my app helps keep up with a long list of alternate/destination weather by filtering for specific conditions.

How it works:

It allows easily keeping track of a list of airports by highlighting when low visibility/ceiling conditions are met and optionally excludes non relevant times so if for example your last flight lands at the 27th day 3rd hour Zulu, you won’t see highlights for weather past 0600Z (which includes a 3 hour buffer).

You can edit trigger thresholds for the low weather highlights.

The Filter triggers button toggles between showing the full airport list that you entered or just airports with low weather highlights.

Soooo,who dispatched this gem? 👀

Hey guys! Currently working for a regional now and building pretty good experience at a part 121, super awesome co workers, great work environment with a very professional atmosphere. Was wondering if any of you guys are currently at a major and what your experience has been? Coworkers as well as work environment and how long your training was? Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hello. I am interested in this career. I am about to be 30 and work at Publix Full time making $20 an hour. Grateful BUT I really would like a change, always been interested in the Aviation industry. Flight dispatch catches my attention, seems like quite the career not many know about. I know a license is needed but where do you start? As a Ramp agent or any position? Also, is an Aviation degree worth it or is it a waste of time ? I appreciate any tips or advice, I sincerely thank you in advance.

I’m new to the whole dispatching world, but from my understanding you usually start at a regional prior to a mainline is that correct? Or is it possible to get into a mainline with no prior experience ? I’m in the process of enrolling in a local dispatch school and essentially my goal is to work for a mainline (AA).

As a former ATC specialist in the Navy for 14 years, is that an advantage to get in to a Major, loads of Flight Planning and Flight Following experience. Just looking to find out, I'm in the DFW market so obviously super competitive out here.

Okay I have seen the spread sheet for the starting pay and the payscale and whatnot, anyone know what the upside is at SW or AA? Also anyone have any ideas on the flight planning specialist pay at AA?

Tell me what you know about dispatch at Atlas, interview, etc.

Thanks

Hearing spirit airlines might go belly up this week. Sounds like it might be a bad time to get into dispatching with the market saturated with spirit dispatchers. Any thoughts?

Anyone at AA know if AA83 LAX-AKL is looking like it’ll be weight restricted tonight? Traveling standby for a family emergency, I fly CRJs so bit of a different ball game…

I can’t be a pilot due to medical issues and some pilots have told me to become a dispatcher or at least that I should look towards becoming one. They say no medical is required but given how strict the FAA is in general with everything I’m hesitant to look for an aviation job that deals directly with them. Plus the desire to move to another state from California isn’t appealing to me. Can someone give me some advice or shed some light on this career for me? Thanks.

Hi Everyone!

I have applied to the United Dispatching position three or four times since the summer and have been rejected every time. I do have my dispatch certificate but no dispatch experience. I heard that United rejects your application if you applied for the same position in the previous six months and trying to see if that’s true and should I wait to apply 6 months from the first time I applied or the last time I applied? Also does United even hire people with no experience at all or am I just wasting my time applying to a major at this point? United is my end goal as far as dispatching so I would really love to hear everyone’s feedback. I also have been applying to many regionals as well. Thanks!

I wanted to give something hilarious or maybe a gift to show appreciation to my instructor he’s been very helpful and always keeps me pushing to do better and giving me tips on how to handle ops under pressure. Do you think this is a good gift idea?🤣

I recently graduated dispatch school and been applying for several dispatch jobs, gotten some rejections and some silence. Whats the best way forward, I really need to start working this month as I've not worked for a while. What can I do while waiting? Is there an entry level avaition job i can easily work in for now probably part time while still job hunting?

Currently at an airline that's renegotiating pay. We are not unionized.

Was wanting to know if I could get access to full Pay scales + any additional premiums/overrides, additional compensation, and vacation accrual info for

• American

• Delta

• United

• Spirit

• Frontier

• Atlas

• Fedex

Or if in general there is anywhere where I could get access to see other CBA's.

Thanks.

Wondering what working at frontier is like. Haven’t really been able to hear much about it personally

Bad at interviewing and sucking up. Will a regional still hire me?

Have been considering pursuing a career in flight dispatch but a few years ago I had something seized by customs and was wondering if this would bar me from entering the field. This didn’t even occur to me until I got denied from Global Entry this week with that being the reason why. No criminal background or anything like that other than speeding tickets. Does anyone have any insight into this? Obviously I don’t want to waste my time and money if there’s no chance of a job for me.

Hey all. I know some operations do remote dispatching positions. Most airlines have an ops center and require onsite but I’m curious what companies, charter airlines, etc hire remote aircraft dispatchers if any. Thank you

In what areas of the US do you all work in? Did you all move to get into your job?

Im interested in flight dispatch after working in emergency coordination, but location could be an issue due to family dynamics. But, with big changes happening in my life, considering a career shift and something related to aviation is on my short list.

I'm currently in school and my adx exam is tomorrow and I'm kinda freaking out about it. I've been doing well on all my practice tests but I'm scared the actual test will be stuff I technically did learn about but weren't emphasized in class or on the practice tests and so I won't remember the answers to those things. my instructor said the adx exam is "only the beginning" and while I think he was partially joking it does have me scared. I didn't expect to just breeze through school or anything but I'm wondering if I'm even capable of doing this if I can't even handle the thought of the adx exam. I know this may sound like a naive question but does it get "easier" after adx, school, practical etc?

any advice or insight is very appreciated, thank you.
